Fig. 3 shows a combined table 2 and fence 1 pivoted to the ordinary machine table 3 and secured at the required inclination by means of a quadrant 11. A feed chain or rope 7 fitted with pins 8 engaging the work travels in grooves 13, 14 in the fence 1 and over chainwheels 6, one of which is rotated by belt gearing 9, 10. In another construction the chain travels in the groove 13 over the two chain - wheels and then returns over a third chain-wheel carried by a depending arm on the table 2. Fig. 8 shows a machine in which the fence 1 and table 2 are separately pivoted on a shaft 26. The fence 1 is adjustable in inclination by means of a screw, and may be moved laterally by means of a handwheel 31 so as to allow the table to be swung about the shaft 26 clear of the saw 12. The hand-wheel 31 operates the fence through a boss 30 threaded on the screwed end of the shaft 26. The pulley 10 rotates on a sleeve 32 at the ordinary end of the shaft 26. The auxiliary table 2 is provided with an extension 25 projecting under the edge of the fence 1 which rests upon it. In the case of machines having horizontally-arranged feed ropes or chains, or those having vertically-arranged feed ropes or chains constructed so as to give laterally, the groove 13 may be made of greater depth from just in front of the saw 12, and the chain turned away from the saw by guides 15 so as to allow very thin boards to be sawn. In the horizontal feed chain shown in Fig. 7, the work is engaged by pins or lugs 8 pivoted to the hinge pins 20 of the links and provided with projections 21 abutting against projections 22 on the links. If the wood to be cut is longer than the distance between successive lugs, those between the ends of the wood are turned inwards by pressing the wood against them.
